Trudeau Refuses to Answer Questions Following His Fall Economic Statement

December 11, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, ON – After nine years, the NDP-Liberal Government has devastated Canada’s economy. Canada is going through the worst decline in our living standards in forty years and the OECD has forecasted that Canada will be the worst-performing advanced economy over both 2020-30 and 2030-60. 

Things have gotten so bad that Justin Trudeau and his incompetent Finance Minister are trying to escape from answering questions on their disastrous upcoming Fall Economic Statement. 

That is why Common Sense Conservatives put forward a motion to force Trudeau to defend his Fall Economic Update by adding a Prime Minister’s Question Period on Wednesday, December 18. 

Shamefully, Liberals rejected this motion. Clearly, they are not proud of their economic record, and cannot wait to run and hide for 6 weeks, just 24 hours after delivering the bad news to Canadians. 

It’s no surprise that Trudeau is trying to hide from Canadians. Last month, the Parliamentary Budget Office projected that Trudeau had likely blown past his already terrible $40 billion deficit target. This uncontrolled spending will continue to make everything more expensive for Canadians at the worst possible time.  

Trudeau’s economic vandalism is pushing Canada’s economy to the brink of collapse. Last month, Statistics Canada reported that Canada’s unemployment is the highest it’s been in eight years, excluding the pandemic. Food banks had to handle a record 2 million visits in a single month this year, an increase of 90 percent from 2019.  

Justin Trudeau is not worth the cost. Only Common Sense Conservatives will axe the tax and fix the budget to bring home a stronger economy for Canadians.
